It seems most of you are thinking either too high tech or too simple, you got to go in between the two.

OK, a couple of ideas.
Could it be an ultrasonic ranging head, or perhaps just a connector that allows the electronics board to be easily taken off of and put back on the robot?
Can I get a confirmation that it is not an auxiliary processor, or would that be revealing too much?
